The correct matching of movements with their mass base/following is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3.
A. Bardoli Satyagraha (1928): This was a peasant movement against a sharp increase in land revenue demand by the British. While led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the movement involved various peasant communities in the Bardoli taluka of Gujarat. The term ‘Kaliparaj’ (meaning dark-skinned) was used for the tribal peasants of the region, who were heavily mobilised and participated actively in the Satyagraha.
B. Tebhaga: This movement (1946-47) was a sharecroppers’ movement in Bengal demanding that the share of the produce given to landlords (jotedars) be reduced from one-half to one-third (tebhaga). The main participants were the bargadars (sharecroppers).
C. Satyasodhak Samaj: Founded by Jyotirao Phule in 1873 in Maharashtra, this social reform society aimed at the upliftment of lower castes and women. Its base included peasants and agricultural labourers, particularly from communities like Kunbis (a prominent peasant caste in Maharashtra).
D. Ulgulan: The ‘Great Tumult’ was the rebellion led by Birsa Munda in the Chota Nagpur region (present-day Jharkhand) against British colonial rule, land alienation, and missionary activities in the late 19th century (specifically 1899-1900). The mass base of this movement was the Munda tribal community.
These examples highlight the diverse nature of mass movements in colonial India, often rooted in specific socio-economic grievances and drawing support from particular communities or occupational groups.
